KFC trying for Alien customers
For decades the Great Wall of China was rumoured
to be the only man-made structure visible from space but now it has been joined
by a fast food chain. KFC, with its new self-styled astrovertisement – a
huge face of its founder Colonel Sanders – can now be seen by
extraterrestrials peering down at Earth. Lucky old them.

chain.
KFC, with its new self-styled astrovertisement – a huge face of its founder Colonel Sanders – can now be seen by extraterrestrials peering down at Earth. Lucky old them.
The American food giant built the face in the Nevada desert, near Area 51, notorious for its UFO sightings, as part of a global rebranding.
It is made up of 65,000 tiles – 6,000 red, 14,000 white, 12,000 eggshell, 5,000 beige and 28,000 black – and was put together by a 50-strong team working round the clock for more than three weeks.
The face is 8,120 sq metres (87,500 sq ft) and nearly seven times the size of the London Eye. Photos of the logo were taken last week by a satellite circling Earth at an altitude of 490km (300 miles).
Is this a hint that KFC knows something we don’t?
